“Epik Fails of History” is a podcast about the most epic fails… of history. Created and edited by Erik Slader and co-hosted by Chris Carroll. (Recommended for ages 13 and up due to some mild language.)

History authors unite! Erik Slader and Ben Thompson (Badass, Guts and Glory) join forces in this epic cross-over! Ben and Erik talk about the fails that happened along the way to co-writing their (award winning?!) "EPIC FAILS" book series as they recount their first book tour together, from Florida to Vegas to Seattle!

In this (insanely overdue) episode, Erik and Chris talk to local historian, and fellow Floridian, Jasmine Turner - about some of the crazier stories from their state's history! Everything from Ponce de Leon and "the Fountain of Youth" to 'the original Florida man', Mayor William Cottrell. Also on this episode: Henry Flagler, Walt Disney, the Great Jacksonville fire, floating nuclear power plants, how the US government poured millions of dollars into a cross-state canal that never happened, and much much more...

In this episode, Erik and Chris are joined by graphic designer extraordinaire, Justin Ache, as they discuss the insane, comically ridiculous and convoluted events (and propaganda) surrounding World War One... and how "The War to End All Wars" actually caused every other war since!

In the first episode of "Epik Fails of History", Erik Slader and Chris Carroll dive into the Great London Beer Flood of 1814, wade through the Late Victorian Manure Crisis, and get lost trying to find Australia with Abel Tasman...
